My first concert was Bon Jovi... I went with my mother and a friend. I was young probably around 13. My mother and I had a great time but I remember my friend couldn't stand the noise. We had to rip apart a tampon for her to stick in her ears, lol.. I loved them as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing that my mother took us.. I am such a huge concert freak. My hubby and I are going on wed to a Roger Waters concert and I can't wait. I heard he is doing "the Wall".. YEAH!!!!!

I been having a good week and staying on track.. I saw the lowest # on the scale yet this morning.. Still starting w/ the old 18# though.. But I am so close now I can taste it so nothing is going to put me off track now..

@ kim, I have done the old 5am workout but I feel like I get such a better workout when I have some time to wake up first.. Hopefully my body will adjust with time..

Gotta go for now, my middle one isn't feeling well and I am working on a big pot of homemade chix noodle soup for her.. Yummy..

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!!!

The first concert I ever attended was Tim McGraw/Little Texas. It was a million years ago when I was in college. I went with a roommate and it was a blast!!!

I just want to apologize for being MIA this week. I have been having some hormonal issues which triggered some nasty migraines this week. I've been barely able to function. I started feeling better yesterday so I'm hoping to be more involved this week. Good luck to everybody!!!

Terapet - Congrats on the new job!! Big change is sometimes good.

KimL - don't have any regrets, go for it and let life take you on an adventure. you can always settle down later.

Shan - glad you are feeling better and way to go on the exercise!!

This is my super busy time of year... between now and Nov 20th, I am an event planner and I have a 4 day event that runs Nov 17-20th so I am in full swing. I don't have much time to post lots of responses but will try to get on when I can.

Having a rough week, just posted about it. Totally off plan with my eating, can't figure out how to make it right. I'm really disappointed to tell you that I will be using a freebie for our weigh in tomorrow. I'm sorry that I let you guys down, and sorry that I let myself down. I hope the rest of you have wonderful weigh ins, and wonderful weekends also.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Off to hike the huge mountain on the island here in about two hours. Excited to see what my GWF says about calories burned from the hike.

Have a good one.

Oh, my first concert ever was LeAnn Rimes and Bryan White. I was 14 years old and my mom bought the tickets the same day as the concert as a suprise for me and my best friend. We were the only people in the nosebleed section and I remember we had brought binoculars so we could see far away. It was so much fun!!! I was in love with Bryan White.

Today's question: Do you cook during the winter time with a crock pot? Do you have any favorite recipes?

I love my crock pot! I love soup, so I do a lot of soup in mine. My two favorites are a bean soup which is so simple it's ridiculous, and I recently found an awesome recipe for mushroom soup which is just fantastic. I would love to try something other than soup in there, but I have a hard time finding vegetarian recipes that aren't soup, or pasta which I am trying to stay away from. Can't wait to hear what other people use theirs for!

Hello all. Don't forget to weigh in today!

Just home from the hike. Bummed because my GWF says my burn was low compared to the 8.5 mile walk I did yesterday (granted the walk was longer by 2 hours, but it was flat walking and I didn't sweat)...the hike is hardcore.

On the positive side, last time I hiked that mountain it took me 4 hours up and down. This time I did it in....drumroll please........2 hours!!!! I was floored! I sweated and could barely breath the whole time so I thought I would have a higher calorie burn...but I guess not.

Hoping to see a good number on the scale in the morning.

shan84-Congrats on the mountain hike. Amazing time!

Sorry I haven't been around much. I missed weigh in last week because I gained 2 lbs and didn't want to post that anywhere! I guess I was trying to hide. Anyway, I am back down so feeling good about that.

The first concert I attended was Black Oak Arkansas - does anyone even remember who they are anymore?

Just posted my weigh-in results for this week.....down 2 pounds :)

3 lb loss this week. Into the 220s :D

I use my crock for everything I can, during all seasons. I've got a crock of bean soup and a crock of country style pork ribs on the counter now.

Good luck to all those weighing in today.

Gosh....I feel bad for all of you to have me on the red team. I have gained each week. I will hopefully post a loss next weekend. I am just crazy busy and have not been making good choices.
